Botcon 2016 Predacus Full Reveal

BotCon 2016 Twitter has revealed their convention exclusive Predacus figure for the Dawn Of Predacus set which is the combined mode of Tripredacus Agent Ravage, Predacon Secret Police Tarantulas, Predacon General Cicadacon, Predacon General Ramhorn and Predacon General Seaclamp.

Artist Marcelo Matere has once again given his talent to the boxart along with Josh Perez.

The Japanese continuity acknowledges the movie anyway; they still got it two years later than they should've. I think in recent years they've tried retconning why Wheeljack and such appear. As Autovolt says though, it doesn't matter since this is in the IDW BW continuity (AKA using Gathering and Ascending as well as the original BW series).

Looks like they accidentally called Snapper "Spittor" at one point. Both are great little toys so I can understand the mistake.

There were only two Micromasters who he saw in front of him; Man Terror was grappling with one, Grimlock with the other. Snapper converted to his tank configuration, took careful aim, and shot the purple and blue Micromaster in the back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Man Terror was less sanguine about Spittor's help. "The Man Terror needs no assistance!"

Story is alright but the illustrations (added below) are what caught my eye. Looks like BW Grimlock out of Springer, BWII Galvatron out of BH Optimus Prime, and Hot Rod from either CW Dead End or CW Blackjack.

Could be nothing, and likely is, but it could be a hint towards the souvenirs for Botcon similar to how Megatron showed up in another Botcon promotion without an official reveal.

Rodimus is actually his Takara exclusive Micromaster toy. The one that came with Star Convoy.

Given the liberties taken with accuracy for other unrelated repaints, Armada Thrust will do for the G1 coneheads. Its not completely accurate of course, but it will do.

Keep in mind that UW Armada Thrust doesn't look exactly like Armada Thrust, either. If it was made for him, they wouldn't have given him a mouth. I'm fairly certain he's supposed to be a standard conehead updated.
